What to Know

The St. John's Red Storm and the #24 Connecticut Huskies will face off in a Big East clash at noon ET Feb. 13 at Madison Square Garden. The Red Storm are out to stop a four-game streak of losses at home.

St. John's was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap last week as they fell 75-69 to the Villanova Wildcats. One thing holding St. John's back was the mediocre play of guard Julian Champagnie, who did not have his best game: he finished with 12 points on 4-for-15 shooting in his 31 minutes on the court.

Meanwhile, UConn was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap this past Friday as they fell 74-68 to the Xavier Musketeers. Guard R.J. Cole (22 points) was the top scorer for UConn.

St. John's is expected to lose this next one by 3.5. Their home court has been no bettor's paradise, as they've failed to beat the spread in ten of their 15 home games.

The losses put the Red Storm at 13-10 and the Huskies at 16-7. A couple stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: St. John's enters the matchup with 5.7 blocked shots per game on average, good for ninth best in college basketball. But UConn is even better: they rank second in college basketball when it comes to blocked shots per game, with 6.5 on average. Points in the paint might be hard to come by.
